Anne Landman was a registered respiratory therapist for twelve years
prior to completing degrees in Environmental Restoration/Waste
Management Technology and Communcations.

She has amassed evidence describing how the retail merchandising system of self-serve tobacco
displays and "placement fees" illicitly funnel nicotine to youth by
enabling shoplifting from these too-accessible displays.

Anne's efforts to bring this arrangement to the media's attention culminated in the CBS
Evening News producing an Eye on America segment describing the
scheme. The segment, broadcast nationally in April 1999, was taped by
advocates across the country and is used at city council meetings,
legislative hearings and press conferences to graphically demonstrate
the need for a ban on self-service displays of tobacco.

Starting in 1998, Anne began examining and collecting tobacco
industry documents posted on the Internet. She is now working to get
wider public exposure for this material. She also uses the documents to help with tobacco cessation
classes and to assist advocates who are pursuing tobacco control
ordinances. Anne has worked for the American Lung Association of Colorado since
1996.
